She got it from her mom, passed it on to my sister and me and eventually it will be passed to my girls and on. Non-Bucharians just love it!

1 lb. dates or 2 date paste

1 lb. almonds (roasted, not salted)

1 lb. walnuts (roasted, not salted)

1 lb. hazelnuts (roasted, not salted)

1 lb. dark raisins (roasted, not salted)

4 green apples

Wine

Grind above ingredients, add red wine and refrigerate.

When serving, you will have to add more wine to make the consistency soft and spreadable. You can use a mix of wine and grape juice. You can also use Kal wine for less alcohol. Now, try that on a matzah…yummy!

The above measurements yield enough Charoset for 15 ppl who use it for Maror (over Romaine lettuce) and Korech (over Romaine lettuce between 2 pieces of matzah), for 2 seder nights, with leftovers given to guests who eat it during the week as matzah spread. To make less, cut all ingredients by half or third.
